L`Evangile 2009, crafted from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, reflects the unique terroir of Pomerol. Aged in 100% new French oak, this wine offers aromas of dark fruit, leather and baking spice, with herbal nuances. The palate presents a structured body, marked by tannins and a lingering finish. The estate, owned by the Rothschild family since 1990, is renowned for its commitment to quality and traditional winemaking practices. This vintage is suitable for cellaring, with optimal drinking suggested from now to 2046.
100 Robert Parker
An astonishing effort from the Rothschild family, the 2009 l’Evangile may be the reference point offering from this estate for decades to come. A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak, with 15% natural alcohol, it exhibits a sumptuous bouquet of caramels, black raspberry liqueur, blackberries, violets, graphite and truffles. Thick, viscous flavors are reminiscent of such super-ripe vintages as 1982, 1959, 1949 and 1947. The striking aromatics, massive, full-bodied mouthfeel and multilayered palate that resembles a skyscraper in the mouth offer an abject lesson in great winemaking, extraordinary terroir, and the ability to combine power with precision, elegance and freshness. This is unquestionably a huge wine, but it also possesses mindboggling complexity and finesse. Because of its sheer extract and velvety personality, it will be drinkable in 4-5 years, and will keep for four decades or more where well-stored. The most profound L’Evangile ever made? - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Smoky, grilled black cherry, enticing and confident, with ripened blackberry and raspberry fruits, pomegranate, cherry pit, white peach, sage and fennel, wrapped up in waves of smoked earth and cocoa bean. An exuberant vintage of L'Evangile, deceptively open, but will continue to age.Jane Anson10th October 2024
